Why get iPod Touch 8GB when iPhone 8GB is so much cheaper?

I'm browsing the specs. Am I missing something? You can actually do more with the iphone, yet it costs over $100 less. What gives?

Yeah, that's the usual rationalization! But there's at least the data plan/month that would be more-- plus many of us use pay as you go phones, which are vastly less expensive than an iPhone.
Do you really need such expensive plans? It's much like with cable--I shake my head at relatives and family members who are spending $40-60/month to receive hundreds of lousy shows that they never watch and can never find anything on. Lots of ways of saving $. Hey, people could cancel cable and get an iPhone! More entertainment value that way!

HT4993 getting iPod touch music to iPhone 5

how do i get my music from my ipod touch to my iPhone 5?

So is all the music on your iPod touch purchased from the iTunes store? If so, you don't need to "transfer it" to your phone. You can sign your phone into the same AppleID as your iPod and just re-download the music.

I don't understand why my iPod touch 4g, when charged, it is fully charged to 100% and when I unplug it, it shows to 96% to 98%. And it's iOS 5

I just want to know if its a defect in the battery or in iOS 5.

How are you measing % battery. Sometime it is not that accurate. I would not be concerned.

Blue Screen when I plug my Ipod Touch 8GB(Late 2009)

My problem is when I plug my Ipod touch 8gb to my laptop(Acer Aspire 5632wlmi,intel core 2 duo processor T5200-1,60 GHz-533MHz L2 cache,1GBDDR 2,Up to 384MB NVIDIAGeForce GO7300 TurboCache,System: Microsoft XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3,all required updates are done),the windows system detects problem and windows shuts down to prevent damage to my computer,this error message appears in blue screen with the technical information of :
*Stop : 0x00000007E(0x0000005,0X00000000,0xF78FD7C8,0XF78FD4C4) .
When the system goes down,I have to shut pc down from the power button and when I switch my laptop on I receive an error stating that "system has recovered from a serious error " which has signature of:
BCCode : 1000007E BCP1:C000005 BCP2:00000000 BCP3:78FD7C8 BCP4:F78FD4C4 OSVer: 512600 Product:256_1
And error report content is:
C:\DOCUME~1FATIHF~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERffa3.dir00\Mini031610-02.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1FATIHF~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERffa3.dir00\sysdata.xml
What I have done regarding to try to solve the problem ,but not worked at all:
1-I have uninstalled Itunes ultimate version(iTunes 9.0.3 for Windows XP,Vista or Windows 7) and other Apple related components on my Laptop(apple application support,Apple mobile device support,Apple Software Support,Quicktime etc.)
2- a-I re-installed all components mentioned on step 1 and plugged my Ipod: It works when I plug for first time,then I sync with my audio,art-work folders.Then I unplug my Ipod to listen music and see my Art-work,when I plug my Ipod for 2nd time to my Laptop,it crashes and that same blue screen error occurs.
b- I uninstalled all Apple components and plugged my Ipod to my Laptop,it charges the battery but no blue screen occurs.
3- I reset my Ipod and meanwhile uninstall all Apple components again(exactly like in 1st step) in my laptop,then I re-install all components to my laptop, and follow the same steps as exactly in 2nd step.I plug my Ipod and it works for first time,than I do sync through Itunes again,than I unplug and use my Ipod,when I plug for 2nd time than the same blue screen error appears and laptop crashes.
4- a- I reset my Ipod and Meanwhile uninstalled all Apple components,I re-installed iTunes 8.2.1 for Windows XP,Vista or Windows 7) but the same blue screen occurs.
b- I uninstall iTunes and plugged my Ipod to my laptop,no blue screen occurs.
5- I asked my colleague who has MacBook and plug my Ipod to her MacBook, than open Itunes,but Itunes(iTunes 9.0.3 for Mac OS x) can not see my Ipod as device and I am not able to do anything.
6- I've searched in Apple official websites and Google and many Blogger sites,Fan sites and all other possible technical sites but could not find any solution.
7- I've contacted(phone call) to the Local(Portugal) Support Apple Support Centre and explained all history of the problem clearly.But they could not help me,they advised the same possible solutions which I've already done and they said that they can not do more.And than they gave me a support mail address to contact.([email protected])
8- I've sent an email to [email protected], 2 days later they've answered me with the information that they are phone based support therefore they not provide me support.
Basically I am not able to import or export anything to/from my ipod,anyway all windows is going down.
It is first time I buy Apple product.My friends who have Apple products were generally positive about them,and I was thinking to by a MacBook as well,but after this problem I got doubts and I am not satisfied and happy at all. Since days I am trying to find solutions and find the exact support contacts to get helped with this problem.But could not reach any information. Now I don't have any positive Idea about Apple products or support service.I went to the Techno-Market which I bought the Ipod to change with an Iphone or at least try to have my money back if not possible to swap it with Iphone,but they've told me that it has been more than 15 days and they can not swap it or refund it,even if it was possible they would not refund it because the very sensitive backside of Ipod has some small but visible scratches.
Anyway I can see the difficulty of having Apple product,having support of product and finding the right contacts to communicate is not easy and I would really be very happy if anyone could change this idea of mine with helping me out to use my Ipod with peace and without any other problem.
As you can see,I spent a lot of money to buy it and spent days to find solution to my problem and spent a lot of energy to find right Apple Support contacts to help me with my problem.And I am not able to use my product as I wish.
Please advise me regarding to solve my problem. I hate to deal with courts and other legal ways to take action in those kind of cases. But if not of course it will be my last option to do it so.
I am waiting an answer,please try to answer me as soon as you have an answer for me.
Thanks In advance
Best Regards
PS:If you provide me an email address which I can send all print screens and full blue screen error message .txt I'll contact you soon after receiving your contact.

OR use this method
1. Press-hold the Home button (big circle below the screen)and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
2. Continue holding both buttons (Ignore the"Slide to power off") until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart.
3.You may let go when you see the silver Applelogo.
Thats all Folks!!

I have a ipod touch 8gb . When I plug it in to charge it just blinks from the apple screen to the battery screen what could be wrong?

Maybe:
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
or
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have an ipod touch 8gb model number MA623LL. How do I install apps on my ipod? Is it capable of transferring/running apps? Why doesn't my ipod touch have the basic-beginning app on the beginning screen after i erased/wiped my ipod and started new?

Googling shows that you have the 1G iPod. For apps you need at least iOS 2. The iG can go as far os 3.1.3 that you get here:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
Just be aware that there are presently not that many apps that work with a 1G with iOS 3.1.3

I have an ipod touch 8gb that is disabled. on the screen it reads ipod disabled connect to itunes. But when i connect it to itunes, it says that it cant work with the ipod because it is locked with a passcode. what now?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

IPod Touch, 8gb size, mostly broken(cracked screen & have to use in a dock). Can I get cash out of it somehow?

I have an iPod Touch, 8gb in size. The screen is broken and it mostly has to be plugged into a dock to work.
My question is does anyone know of a trade-in program, or, some way I can sell this iPod? Is there a trade-in program, or something I can utilize to get some cash back or some credit out if this iPod? Or, should I call it a day and just trash it at this point - and admit all is lost?!
Your knowledge and input is appreciated, thanks!

Apple will only give you a 10% recycling discount if you turn in an old iPod when you purchase a new one.

Ipod Touch 8GB Model a1213. Cant get to HOME screen?

My friend bought new in '08 a iPod Touch 8GB- Model a1213. Her son had always loade music but, he pasted away so, she was tried herself. Now her screen, when powered up, shows a Musical Note over a Disk, under that, shows the Plug that connects to bottom of iPod Touch. We cant get to home or any other screen. Thanks!

It sounds like the iPod is in Recovery Mode. You'll need to connect the iPod Touch to her iTunes library and restore it.

My daughter has a new ipod touch and when synced it had all of my iphone contacts. she deleted the ones she didn't want and they were removed from my phone as well. How can I get them back if they were deleted from the cloud? I also had them on my pc

My daughter bought a new ipod touch and when synced received the contacts from my iphone. She deleted the ones she didn't want on her ipod and now they are gone from my iphone. I have the cloud and i thought back up on itunes. I have tried to re-sync and no luck. How can I get my contacts back?

Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device. Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud. If someone deletes them, they are gone. If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings If yu can see the screen enough to do it)
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I recently purchased the newest nano. I have 3 other nano's and iPad iPhone, oh and iPod touch. When I plug in nano to my mac I get the message "iPod cannot update because it contains files that are used by another application. How can manage this?

It means that nano was used on a third-party software or synced from different computer to sync music. Does that nano show in iTunes? If yes, then restore completely. If not, then you may need to head to Apple Store and see what they can do.
